Frequency estimation information obtained when a wireless communication device (WCD) is in one wireless communication system, such as frequency error or offset information, may be translated to a corresponding frequency error in another system, thereby allowing the WCD to perform a handover to the other system with reduced initial frequency error. As a result, the acquisition time involved in acquiring a signal in the other system may be significantly reduced.
